arXiv:2602. 06932v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Speculative decoding can significantly accelerate LLM serving, yet most deployments today disentangle speculator training from serving, treating speculator training as a standalone offline modeling problem.

The paper introduces AdaptiveSpec, a training‑free speculative decoding method that simultaneously adapts the per‑step verification rule and the draft‑tree shape using signals generated during decoding. It replaces the fixed token‑match rule with a margin‑based threshold and adjusts tree depth, width, and node count based on draft confidence and recent acceptance history, allowing the total draft count to vary. Experiments on SGLang show up to 56% throughput gains over EAGLE‑3 while maintaining 93% of lossless task accuracy on GSM8K, MATH‑500, and HumanEval across three models.

TreeWY introduces a speculative verification method for Gated DeltaNet (GDN) hybrid models that eliminates the need for per-draft-state snapshots. By applying a tree‑structured WY transform to the gated delta rule, each draft node’s output is computed with a single triangular solve, and only the accepted state is reconstructed on commit. Benchmarks on Qwen3.5 35B and 397B show reduced memory pressure, higher throughput, and lower time‑to‑first‑token in memory‑bound scenarios, while enabling wider, higher‑acceptance draft trees.
